lie itknown that l, Jnlns N. lli-lxnY, a citizen ol the l nited States. residing at lro i 'lrneet in the county of Providence and State of ltlnale lsland. have invented certain new and usel'ul lmprov ments in Brackets tor t ni'taiinllotls. of which the following is a sp eltieation.

My invention relates to supports or hraeltets tor eurtain rods. especially for those having ends disposed at an angle to the plane ol' the hodv. I

The ess ntial objects of m invention are taeilit v ot engagement and disengagement ot' the parts eomhined with security when in use. and inexpensiveness of construction.

l\ l'nrther ohjeet is to insure the capacity of the supports for angular arrangement of the ha es ol' the supports relativelv to the ends ot the rods.

To the alnne ends essentiall my invenq tiou eonsists in sueh parts and eon'ihinations of parts as tall nuldn the scope ot' the at pended elziinl.

In the .n-eonipan \'ing drawings whieh t'orni a part ol' this speeilieation. and wherein lilte eharaeters oi ret erenee indicate like parts throughout the \iews. l igures l and 1! are plan and trout elevations respeetivetv ot' m v innel hra ltetengaging the ends of a enrlain rod \\hieh is shown partially ln'olu-n awa Fig. :3. a section of the same, on line a' .1 ol l ig. L. and Fig. l. a perspee li\e \ie\\ ot' the lH'tlt'htt ll]tllll)tl.

l'laeh raehet eompri es a has. provided ith perforations u adapted to receive attaelnnii l r attaehnn-nt to a wire don molding ll. The eentral portion ol the hast is el ei'a l ele\ated as at v'. and is profldetl \ith spat-ed perl'oratiolfis 1/ to re; teiae tights e up n the end of the plate E. The ingsr are ri\eted or held over against the inner l'aee ol' thr bas A and retain the plate I) in tight eiigageni nt with the lnise. The plate ll is prm 'led with an olilong rectangular longitudinally disposed slot 1 extending from a point near its attachment with the base to the end of the plate. This slot divides the plate so as to produce two parallel tlat resilient arms (l provided with rounded or beveled end portions g. In the exterior edges of these arms at the ends of the beveled portions are oppositely disposed notches k.

The curtain rod in the present instance.- eomprises two telescoping sections J having curved end portions and provided near their ends in each instance with an internal annular rih er shoulder /t' adapted to register in the notehes llof tie arms (hwhen the rods ahnt against the raised portion 0 of the base A. The resiliency of these arms permit their compression toward each other as the end of the rod advanees over the heveled portions of their ends and permits the seating ol' the rih in the notches in such a manner that the rod cannot accidentall he It will he noted that this eonstrnetion avoids the rise of solder and that the whole may be stamped from thin sheet metal.

\\'hat 1 claim ist-- "lhe eomhination with a curtain rod pro rided with an internal rih. of a hraeltet comprising a hase. provided with an elevated eelitlzll portion. and with perforations in said central portion. a plate upon the elel'low. ll. Znnuacn. llonvlio ll. llimrow
